Hospital Chaplaincy
If anyone is going into Ninewells Hospital, the contact number for the chaplain there is: 07821 624124. The contact number for the chaplain for Perth Royal Infirmary is: 07842 538056. Given changes in accessing patient information the only way the chaplain will know that you or a loved one is in hospital and require the Sacraments is if you call on these numbers.

St. Mungo, Alloa and St. Serf, High Valleyfield
It has been encouraging to see the children coming to Mass regularly prior to receiving their First Holy Communion. Please continue to attend Mass with your families. One way in which the children can now become more involved in the parish is by volunteering to be an altar server. Serving at Mass is both an honour and a privilege, as you assist the priest and also learn more about the Mass. If any of the boys and girls would like to be an altar server, please let either Anthony Cassidy or Fr Michael know. Full training will be given and other experienced servers will be there to help.

Sunday 28th June: Coffee in the Kitchen Hall. There will be an informal gathering after Mass for tea, coffee and biscuits. The plan is to hold this monthly. With additional volunteer help, we hope this can be a more regular event for the parish community to come together. Do come along!
